    Lets talk Red Dots on handguns

    Well, that's an instance where co-witnessing the irons through the red dot would be handy. It's why I like red dot setups that sit low and it's why that Holosun SCS interests me. Low profile, direct mount that co-witnesses the factory irons. The factory setup of the P320 RXP also co-witneses...

    High Noon Slide Guard OWB holster, accompanying mag carrier from the same and a Hank's Extreme gun belt. This will be my primary off work carry rig for the winter.

    Looking for a new CCW.

    Actually, what I'd like to do is get back into the metal frame, DA/SA game with a CZ P01. Set it up with Cajunworks parts and wood grips for that high class carry option.

    Looking for a new CCW.

    Do you want a traditional double stack? I have come to really like the x framed P320s. For a micro 9 the Shield Plus works best for me. It depends on the size and shape of your hands. I prefer a wide, flat backstrap which Glocks and the p320 have. On the other hand the small grip of the p365...

    Fightlite lever action carbine

    Found a price on their website- $1299, it's not available yet though. Honestly I figured it would be even more expensive. I was thinking that this thing in 350 Legend would make a good woods gun for deer in states liie PA that don't allow semi autos for game. Then I thought why wouldn't I just...

    Lets talk Red Dots on handguns

    While if given the option I would choose a closed emitter setup concerns regarding open emitter designs are overblown. Particularly for a CCW which will spend the majority of its time protected from the elements and debris. In addition open emitter setups are sleeker in form which is also...

    Lets talk Red Dots on handguns

    You mean a rear notch to co-witness with the front post you mean? The SCS sits low enough to co-witness with factory irons. That's the whole point of the optic.

    Lets talk Red Dots on handguns

    It charges exclusively off the solar cell which is my misgiving. But they claim an hour of charge per week will keep it running so....... I like the form factor otherwise.

    Lets talk Red Dots on handguns

    How do we feel about the new Holosun SCS? https://holosun.com/index/product/detail/id/209.html I am a little dubious about the solar only thing But I do like that it is a direct mount system, seeing as Glock's mounting plates suck and plates in general are suboptimal. I like the idea of...

    NY State Police say they recovered illegally possessed PSAK-47 during traffic stop......

    A 30mm autocannon should be legal to own. .......... I wonder how large a vehicle you'd need to mount the current Bofors 57mm cannon on? I'd bet an F650 could be made to mount one one the rear frame

    Holosun Launches P. ID Weaponlight Series

    Night stick pistol mounted light, a good cheap option?

    https://www.lowlightdefense.com/nighstick-twm-30-more-flood-for-cqb/ The 9379 candela rating is too low. 1200 lumens at 9379 candela means the beam is all flood with no hotspot/throw. Ideally you want some throw to push through a back-lit area, headlights, someone shining their own light at...

    2022 Best LPVO round up review

    Actually I think the 1-6 magnification range is optimal for LPVOs. With such a small objective lens exit pupil size becomes a major restriction at magnifications beyond 6x. Also the lack of parallax adjustment somewhat diminishes the practicality of higher magnification especially at long...

    Holosun Launches P. ID Weaponlight Series

    A more focused beam would be better here. 1,000 lumens @ 23,000 candela indicates more of a flood pattern beam. The Modlite PL350 with the PLHv2 head, which also uses an 18350 Li-ion battery, runs 1350 lumens @54,000 candela in what is known as a combination beam possessing both a concentrated...

    2022 Best LPVO round up review

    Your indicated interests imply to me that perhaps you yourself don't quite understand what current LPVOs are used for. An AR15 outfitted with an LPVO is not a tool tailored for hunting, though it can fill that role, nor precision target shooting, though again can be used for such. An LPVO is a...

    2022 Best LPVO round up review

    That's really down more to reticle design. I did A LOT of research and window shopping when I was looking to put glass on the DD General Purpose Rifle (I like the Brass Facts appellation better than "Recce" now) more than a year's worth in fact. I found that very few FFP reticles scaled well...

    To All You Pennsylvanians. (How on Earth can you vote to send Fetterman to Congress?)

    Wherever leftists go, famine, decay and depravity follow. Leftiism is a rotting cancer on humanity, the creeping destruction of us all. In combating the evil scourge of leftistism all things are justified. All tactics are righteous. The fight against leftism is the fight for survival.

    Oz was not a good candidate no, but fetterman is a communist and communists deserve shallow, unmarked graves, not seats in a government. I hope fettermamn has another stroke and dies from it. It's all he deserves.

    Fightlite lever action carbine

    After mulling this over awhile I think this is a good NY legal option, especially with NY's odious new licensing requirements for semi auto rifles. I see the lever action as being superior to a pump action for a manually operated AR as this allows for standard uppers and handguards to be used...
